Staff Algorithm Engineer

Who are we?👋 Look at the latest headlines and you will see something Ki insures. Think space shuttles, world tours, wind farms, and even footballers’ legs. Ki’s mission is simple. Digitally disrupt and revolutionise a 335-year-old market. Working with Google and UCL, Ki has created a platform that uses algorithms, machine learning and large language models to give insurance brokers quotes in seconds, rather than days. Ki is proudly the biggest global algorithmic insurance carrier.

It is the fastest growing syndicate in the Lloyd's of London market, and the first ever to make $100m in profit in 3 years. Ki’s teams have varied backgrounds and work together in an agile, cross-functional way to build the very best experience for its customers. Ki has big ambitions but needs more excellent minds to challenge the status-quo and help it reach new horizons. Where you come in? We’re looking for a Staff Algorithm Engineer to lead the design, implementation, and optimization of the algorithmic models powering the Ki platform.

You’ll drive the technical development of our machine learning systems, researching and applying advanced mathematical and statistical techniques. In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with data scientists, software engineers, and underwriters to integrate these models seamlessly into production. Your work will have a significant and direct impact on our underwriting performance, efficiency, and risk selection. You’ll own projects spanning from short-term model updates to long-term architectural designs that shape our technical future.
